4 starts because it replaces "post" with "tweet" anywhere, even in your own tweets or other people's. Which is bad for two reasons: 1. "post" could be talking about another platform (eg. a "LinkedIn post") 2. I want to see people's stance on the rebrand. Like, I want to know if someone really uses "tweet" or not
